Adding matrix and SID information to Releases

I made a thread about this a while back:

Alternate CD matrix/runout inscriptions: enough for a new release?

I’ve been wondering about this for years, but now it’s come to a head. Discogs will often have multiple versions of the same release with the only thing separating them being things like matrix/runout inscriptions. Recently I got ahold of a repressing of this album and it looks visually identical to the original 1997 version, only that the inner matrix on each disc has different inscriptions. Is this enough to qualify for a new release? I’ve already gone ahead and attached Disc IDs; if I have to…

Adding a data field for SID codes or other manufacturer identifiers might be a good idea, but it would require a schema change (which could take years to implement).
